“Call Me,” the eighth track on ATONEMENT, serves as a critical narrative pivot point, transitioning the album from solitary despair into a shared, desperate plea for connection. Featuring fellow artist 255, the track is a beautifully arranged mid-tempo Afropop offering that transforms the raw anxiety of the preceding interlude, “Voicemail,” into a polished, yet still deeply anxious, attempt at contact.
KitschKrieg’s production provides a smooth, driving beat layered with gentle guitar riffs and atmospheric synths, creating a sense of forward momentum that contrasts with the stagnant, waiting energy of the lyrics. Godwin’s verse carries the weight of vulnerability, clearly articulating the ache of being on the periphery and simply waiting to be seen or heard.
The collaboration with 255 is seamless, introducing a counter-perspective or simply reinforcing the shared nature of this emotional limbo. Their presence elevates the track beyond a simple soliloquy, suggesting that the experience of longing and being stuck in indecision is a universal ‘dilemma.’ “Call Me” is highly effective as a centerpiece, wrapping complex relationship anxiety in an irresistibly smooth, modern soundscape.
